Uhhhh deeply sorry that there's no search bar, but Ctrl + F is right there, good luck buddy

Why is it called "Proto Livastia?" Good question, hypothetical confused individual. I call the early days of Livastia by this name because it's a period of its development where I really didn't take it seriously at all, and thus a large chunk of the art from this time depicts lore and events that were retconned or don't exist anymore. For example, an MAI/Vehicle LAI used to be able to be literally anything - WWI tank, excavator, cargo ship, you name it. Now, however, with further thought and development, these concepts that were once true no longer exist in Livastia canon unless under rare and odd exception.

Proto Livastia, as a matter of fact, was actually initially created as a joke of sorts. The first MAI to ever exist, Kelly Segal, and the first proper LAI to ever exist, Lazarus Sasaki, were at one point nothing more than gag characters that I made as a silly "what if" type of thing. Aren't you glad that I started seriously thinking about the reasons for their existance in a serious manner and getting myself sucked into a multi-year running worldbuilding project? Don't answer that that's a rhetorical.

06-01-2018	traditional	Kelly And Loon Pride Button: Gay rights, baby!
06-01-2018	traditional	Jack Redesign: Been a while since this guy's shown up, but don't get your hopes too high because unfortunately as of Nov 2023, this is the last time I ever draw Jack. Woe, perhaps one day he shall make a return, but I think I just wasn't a huge fan of this new look LMAO
05-31-2018	traditional	Loon Sketch Sheet: A series of sketches I made to get a better grasp on drawing Loon consistently.
05-30-2018	traditional	Kelly And Loon Kis: Omggg how sweet they are in lomve......
05-29-2018	traditional	Feral MAI: First drawing I did of a feral MAI being all covered in moss and grasses n things like that - now it's a core design for a majority of them.
05-28-2018	traditional	Aircraft carrier MAI in a group Conversing - what are they talkng about? It is a mystery.
05-26-2018	traditional	MerMay 2018: Drew this on a whim for MerMay, which I regrettably haven't been terribly invested in since, even though I think doing it with aquatic LAI would be cute.
05-21-2018	traditional	OH GOD OH GOD-: A group of feral MAI have no clue what to do with this stray dog that found them - and immediately asserted its dominance
05-21-2018 thru 05-23-2018	traditional	Aquatic Drone LAI: Various concepts and sketches I drew for both new and existing aquatic AI - some were made for litter cleanup, others were made to possibly replace extinct parts of important food chains.
05-20-2018	traditional	The day that I decided it would be pretty epic if Kelly could be a godfather to his older brother in law's kid - clearly, he was elated by this news
05-19-2018	traditional	Plane Reveal Party: Idk I thought it was funny - gender reveal party but actually the baby is a military fighter jet - they're still a sweetie
05-18-2018	traditional	Nikita Forward facing: Reference image for the way Nikita's asymmetrical face worked. Nikita and Adrik Again: they're chillin so hard, really.
05-17-2018	traditional	Adrik's reaction to that information in the previous entry
05-16-2018	traditional	Adrik Bumps Nikita: oh nooo a fender bender :(((
05-11-2018	traditional	Listen Here, Fuck: I think this was supposed to be based off that one meme of the old lady like angrily pointing at someone then drinking a glass of water
05-09-2018	traditional	ADU-08 Sketches: Hold them gentle like hamburger ok.
05-07-2018	traditional	Nikita and Adrik Sketch: I think this is a sketch I made to try and show the size disparity between the two of them. Even if their designs have changed drastically over the years, their size difference has always remained a must.
05-07-2018	traditional	Lazarus Sketch: Around the time that he was starting to turn into a chronically tired bastard.
05-06-2018	traditional	Little Field Medic: Concept for a low-grade AI field medic bot that could possibly have been in service during the third world war. I never touched upon this specific design again, but the idea is still perfectly plausible for development later on.
